December 19, 2011 I am so excited tonight is my son's first Christmas program. I was sharing my excitement with Brad Weiser this morning and he gave me some advice. He
asked if I was bringing my video camera. I thought to myself, what kind of question is that
December 16, 2011 I admit it, I came late to this current holiday tradition so it took me a while to figure out why I was seeing pics plastered all over my Facebook and Twitter feed of little toy Elves dressed in red doing strange things. Some where hiding in the Christmas tree, others were peeking out from around books, and then there were the ones hanging on to beer bottles.
All with that creepy, molded plastic grin and unblinking painted eyes. Is it just me, or is the Elf a little creepy?
December 14, 2011 The day after Christmas has some of the best sales of the year . . . because stores are getting rid of all of the crap they thought we'd buy. Unfortunately, most of us are completely tapped out financially to capitalize.
Not these people.
December 13, 2011 Women are in charge of Christmas. That's a fact. A survey from Daily Mail last week found that 0% of couples say the man takes the lead for the holidays. But deep down, men secretly think they could do it better.

Men might procrastinate on buying gifts. Men might not always buy the perfect thing. And men may not have a reputation for buying thoughtful Christmas gifts, but at least men are willing to drop some serious money.

When researchers ran this diet study from Time , I doubt they had Brad Weiser in mind. But their results came out just in time to keep Brad and others from gaining a massive amount of weight this month. Maybe.
December 8, 2011 Christmas cards have been in the back of my mind for a few weeks now. I probably need to scrounge up a family picture and get them in the mail. I was blabbing to my husband about this and he mentioned that he thought it was a little to early for Christmas cards.
December 7, 2011 I get a kick out of hearing all the different variety of my favorite Christmas songs. When I hear the classics up against new versions, I can't help but compare and choose "my favorite"
Both Lady A and Martina McBride do a bang up job with "Let It Snow." I'm hard pressed to pick my favorite. Which is yours? Take a listen and vote.
December 6, 2011 I really miss the days when everyone was as lazy as me. Because somehow the mix of Black Friday media hype and Christmas starting in October has turned everyone else into proactive overachievers.
December 5, 2011 So you want your kids to experience the joy of opening new toys this Christmas, but you kinda don't want to spend the money.
Well, there's an interesting new website that can help.
December 2, 2011 I do most of my Christmas shopping online. I can find exactly what I want, where I want, and generally for how much I want. Shopping online just makes everything easier for me. The thing I don't like about online shopping is tracking down shipping numbers.
You know what I mean: Where is the email with the tracking number? When is that package supposed to arrive? What email account did I sign up to the company for? Where did I have it shipped? Why can't I find my receipt? What card did I pay with? AAHHH!
Luckily I found an app that fixes all of that. It's called 'Slice' and it's free.
Santa Claus! The Jolly Old Elf! The Guy In The Red Suit Hanging From a Hook On The Ceiling! Wait, what? Sure there's plenty of delightfully fun figurines of Old Saint Nick, but there's a few far too disturbing and bizarre for any tree trimming party. Here's t
